Stories about the injustice in Ghana’s prison machinery have always been sidelined in the media and worse among Ghanaian artistes who are either scared or unwilling to bring to the public’s attention the kind of unfair treatment given to persons who end up on the unfortunate side of the law.
In spite of the challenges involved in making public such happenings, sensational dancehall artiste Sean Taylor who has proven to be a force to reckon with in Ghanaian showbiz has recorded his latest song titled “Free up Jacob” to speak about the injustice being delivered to a fan and friend from Nima who had been arrested and kept on remand for almost three years for no apparent charge.
‘Free up Jacob’ according to Sean Taylor, known in real life as Theophilus Tettey Taylor was out of the hurt and emotions he feels about Jacob’s situation and how many other people may be going through the same situation without any help.
In the track Sean Taylor explains his belief that everyone deserves to be free and be given the opportunity to a fair trial.
The “Everybody Bard” hitmaker by the song hopes to get Jacob freed or the least tried in court fairly and in all justice so as to determine the true fate of the innocent Jacob.
“Free up Jacob” was officially released on 17th June 2014 and has since been welcomed by the masses who believe in freedom and justice in the country.
According to Sean Taylor’s management, Maseda records, the video for ‘Free up Jacob’ will soon be released to push the campaign for is freedom further.
